Release Notes:
SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
Although this psychedelic art pop quartet formed in Dalston, London at the end
of 2008, the bandmembers had met earlier in the decade at the Edinburgh College
of Art. Vocalist and guitarist Vinny Neff and drummer Dave Maclean played their
first impromptu East London live dates with Duncan Marquiss of Glasgow's the
Phantom Band on bass. Jimmy Dixon soon stepped in to replace him, however, and
graphic designer Tommy Grace joined on keyboards to complete their core lineup.
By the time of the release of the July 2009 debut 7" "Storm," critics had
already latched onto their vocal and experimental similarity to cult folktronica
pioneers the Beta Band. In fact, drummer Maclean was the younger brother of Beta
Band and Aliens keyboard player John Maclean -- a link that both raised their
profile and justified the comparisons.
Django Django similarly betrayed a knowledge and love of electronic music and
Joe Meek's production techniques, alongside an ability to throw together
seemingly disparate styles. Filled with sirens, bells, and surf guitar, their
second single -- April 2010's "Wor" -- sounded like the Ventures jamming with
Hot Chip. While friend and Glaswegian video artist Cara Tolmie provided vocals
and cello on the equally playful flip, "Skies Over Cairo," Grace designed the
minimalist artwork that housed this inventive material. The group's self-titled
debut arrived in 2012 and was a Mercury Prize nominee. In early 2014, Django
Django were tagged to curate a compilation album for the popular British series
Late Night Tales, for which they also recorded a cover version of the Monkees'
track "Porpoise Song." A year later, in May 2015, they delivered their sophomore
LP, Born Under Saturn.
